Judge allows distributor to cut off shipments to Oklahoma City pharmacy

A judge ruled Friday that a drug company can go ahead and cut off shipments to the south Oklahoma City pharmacy that gained national attention after a pharmacist fatally shot a robber there.

An Oklahoma County judge ended a temporary order that had required a national company to continue shipping to Reliable Discount Pharmacy, shown at left. The pharmacy was in the national spotlight in 2009 after an employee, Jerome Ersland, above, fatally shot a robber there. Ersland was convicted last year of first-degree murder.
